• Political / economic and development sectors• Private sector commerce and industry• State-owned enterprises• Government• Multi-national corporations• Legal

The Cormac Nielsen Group devises customised, effective and relevant risk management strategies and operating procedures.

• Identification and analysis of potential threats against your organization. • Events are typically categorized as criminal, natural, or accidental.

• We audit assets and potential threats and identify the possible areas and means of compromise. We analyse the existing security program to identify any physical, operational, and procedural weaknesses that may exist and identify potential countermeasures that could be implemented to minimize the probability of an event.

• The primary goal of this analysis is to develop a profile that defines overall threats that may affect your organization. A profile is developed that would categorize threats as highly probable, possible, or unlikely.

• The selection process is intended to channel resources for the protection of the most vital assets against the most probable threats.

• Not every asset can be protected against every possible threat. Each asset should be measured using a cost-benefit ratio.
